Introducing Americans to English Football - @UnitedStateside | #EPL #Soocer #Futbol

THIS IS FOOTBALL 


This is an intro to a new NBC Sports production entitled, "This Is Football".


In the first episode, American journalist, Joe Scarborough, begins with an expedition to Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea Football Club, a week before the FA Cup match with Liverpool FC. 

I just watched it back on DVR and was ready to jump out of my seat and hop on a plane to the UK. It was so interesting and exciting. I've been captivated by the Premier League since NBC began it' coverage a few years ago. This show has already stoked the flames of fascination I have for exploring the world, in particular, it's iconic stadiums.

America's oldest ballparks around 100 years old (Fenway and Wrigley are obviously on my list) whereas, in England, stadiums and clubs have been around since the late 1800's! (Sports and History are my strongest drives when it comes to Travel.) So, as you can imagine, the culture runs deep.

Look out for This Is Football airing on NBC Sports Network and catch the Premier League Live on NBC Saturday and Sunday.
